The post will be based at Bridlington Town Hall, however, the Council anticipates that the successful candidate will work in a blended way combining both working from home, from other centres and the office and is keen to offer flexibility to this role where this benefits both residents and officers.

The work is challenging and varied including general tenancy and estate management (which includes progressing possession cases through the County Court), housing allocations and void property control, providing housing advice and general homelessness advice.

The successful applicant must have a sound knowledge of housing legislation and policy and have experience in housing, however, we are keen to help officers to develop and will offer both professional and specialist training to the right candidate.
